DJ4Hire's Frequently Asked Questions

We use only professional state-of-the-art disc jockey equipment. See our equipment page on our website to view our equipment. We also use CD players and wireless microphones. Our set-ups are very attractive and unobtrusive. Our shows are complete with lights, tables, cords and all then necessary equipment for out setups. All we need is the Dancers.

We accept changes in event dates provided the new date is available. There is no extra cost to you! Beware of disc jockey services that may charge you extra to change the date.

We require payment upon services rendered. We do accept checks or cash and we can do credit cards with prior arrangements.

We know plans can change. If you have to cancel, please notify us by email or call us to cancel our services as soon as possible so can offer the date to other clients.

The equipment we use is virtually identical and we use the same music library. Each DJ has been trained in the same manner, so their performances are very similar. We’ll customize your wedding reception to your needs with our wedding worksheets.

Normally we discourage that because we are hired for private events and we consider each event closed to the public. We don’t want to have potential customers coming to private events and distracting us from our performance. We do have references on our website and they are updated frequently.

We only have a mileage charge for events that are outside our normally area of Edmond to Norman, Del City to Yukon. Because of the price of gas we have to charge the mileage charge of $50.00.

We love a good party, for evening events it’s never a problem. For daytime events, we suggest booking the DJ ahead of time (we may have an evening event afterwards). Events usually last between 2 and 5 hours. We have a maximum of 6 hours allotted for the event. If it goes a little longer we love to party with you. Anything more than an extra hour we would like something extra for the DJ. A good tip (monetary amount) or an additional $100.00 for two hours maximum.

We have found over the years that many events need a little guidance. We help to "host" the event by working with your caterer, photographers, or other professionals to keep all your guests entertained and involved.

We’ll be there to setup about an hour in advance of the start of the wedding so we are setup and ready to play upon the arrival of your first guest. It only takes about 15 minutes to set up our equipment, so in the unlikely event of any technical problems, we can solve them well before the start of your wedding reception.

We are often asked to supply ceremony music, all you have to do is schedule us to play for that time. We suggest scheduling us to start 15 minutes before the ceremony time. Also, there is a small fee if the sound systems needs to be moved to another location.

That's exactly what we do! We all have the ability to "read a crowd" and will select a mix of music that will touch upon everyone there. We’ll have music with us for every generation.

You bet. We have 70,000 songs available to choose from. Just come up and talk to the DJ and we find your selection and play it as soon as we can

We'll try to get it (and we rarely fail!) If you ask us for it, there’s a very good chance that someone else has asked for it before. If you like, you can also supply anything specific that you already own.

No.

It’s not necessary. We know that that additional meal is going to be pricey. If you offer it we’ll accept, but don’t feel obligated.

We try to fit in, normally dress slacks and a dress polo shirt, no jeans or t-shirts unless requested by the customer. Just let us know if you want us to dress otherwise. We've done luau weddings, renaissance weddings, halloween weddings... you get the picture.

We try not to overdo it. We feel your guests are not interested in hearing our disc jockey "ham it up" over the microphone. While we make all the announcements with our microphone, it is not uncommon to see us out among your guests encouraging requests.

Sure, all of our shows come with lights to light the dance floor area. If additional lights are need we can provide them at very little extra cost. We don’t use hazers or foggers due to health issues of the customer an they often set off fire alarms.

Yes. We have a complete backup system available for every event!

No way. It’s against our company policy.

We always have equipment and DJs in reserve just in case of illness or something unforeseen. We realize how important we are to the success of your event and we are very careful not to take any chances.

No. DJ services are not subject to sales tax.

It can vary, it's best to call or email with your date, times and location. A general guideline would be a flat rate of $400.00 for 6 hours. The 6 hour limit starts with the arrival of your first guest. Not the time we arrive to setup.

We aren't cheap, but I'll also say that many of our competitors are over-priced. They use CDs, our systems are all digital with custom built commercial computers. (see our equipment page) and our equipment is as good if not better. Our DJs likely have more experience. I guess the difference is that they want to do 1-2 gigs in a weekend and make a lot of money. We don't look to make a lot of money off of any single event. We enjoy Djing and making people happy, we all have full time jobs and do this because we want to this rather than depending on the income to eat that weekend. Sometimes we are embarrassed to accept money for something we love to do and get so much enjoyment from doing it.

You just can't win sometimes, I hear both of these questions.... A DJ is going to be one of the least expensive things at your wedding reception (and have the biggest impact!). Truly, how much will your cake or flowers cost, what will be more remembered a week or month after the reception? The cake or the DJ?

That’s up to you. If you feel the DJ does a great job, you may tip the DJ. I've spent a lot of time reading all of this, you have a hint as to how much? sure... 5-10% of the total amount charged would be very generous.

Most people book their DJ from 4-6 months or more in advance.. However, on many occasions we book dates just a few of weeks ahead of time.

Not at this time, we do take PayPal as a form of payment

You can book us on our website by completing a wedding worksheet and we will send you back a confirmation that we have your worksheet and you are on our calendar for your event. If you have trouble with the website and can’t navigate with those pesky computers you can call us with the information 405-373-3700 or email us directly at bigdave2@cox.net to hold the date for you.
